4.0

This woman and her husband need to be kept AWAY from any children and put in a padlocked room away from society. GOOD GOD. I loved reading about her neuroses and how the author came back to certain points to make everything clear. It’s crazy how this woman is living in her own personal hell in the name of love. I personally loved the twist ending, I don’t care what that says about my taste.
